On The Blogroll: Macaroni Kid Manhattan East Side

The NYMetroParents blogroll features the best blogs in the parenting world, from New York and beyond. Here's a closer look at why we love these mom bloggers and dad bloggers and how they're shaping the web for parenting today.

Blogging From: New York, New York

California native, Monica Storch, has become a true New Yorker, blogging for Macaroni Kid Manhattan East Side. As part of the Macaroni family of Publisher Moms, this mom of two has a wealth of information about the latest and greatest kid-friendly events in New York City and is ready to share. You can trust this mom to lead you in the right direction. Festivals, classes, concerts and more, Monica posts not only her favorite events for the week, but also a complete list so you can tailor it to your family’s idea of fun. No more scouring the newspaper to decide your weekend activities and no need to cross Fifth Avenue; Monica knows about everything happening right outside your door, or a few blocks away.

Monica also posts giveaways on the newest things to reach the parenting world, as if mom’s need another reason to read her blog. Inquiring New York City moms can study her thoughts on products and events, getting the scoop before stepping out the door.

Her weekly, localized newsletter contains articles and reviews with fun, family anecdotes. Every Thursday, the newsletter can be sent right to your inbox, a nice reminder that the weekend is quickly approaching. Macaroni Kids has newsletters posted nationwide, so whether you’re going to visit family or on a vacation, nearby family-fun adventures are never more than a click away.

The East Side is Monica’s neighborhood, so share in her expertise no matter where you call home. -- Laura Brothers
